If you look at the stats from those two games, you will see that, on paper, the Ravens did control the majority of those games. Which really doesn't matter much if you get the L instead of the W.

The fact is that both offenses have struggled against the opposing defenses pretty much all game long. But in the end, whoever has the most points is the one that goes on. And in this case, going on means a trip to Tampa.

This game may look like an episode of M*A*S*H by the time the final gun sounds.

Um, the Steelers out gained the Ravens, and out scored them, they had the same turnovers and the Steelers had more sacks. Oh and the Steelers won 2. What stats am I looking at on paper that say the Ravens controlled the game?

LOL I hope they come into Pittsburgh today overconfident. Yeah they played great in those two games when we had alot of injuries. That isn't going to happen to day. The Rats have all the injuries this time and we're at home.

Don't worry rat fans, I already said that I would come to your forums after the game and congratulate you guys IF you win. I always cheer for our fellow divisional teams once the Steelers are out. Good lick to both teams today. It's going to be a war!!!

these guys must have missed the 92 yard drive when we made their D look like the Browns'. I watched the game from 5 weeks ago last night and the only positive from them was the running of McClain. He seemed to get 3 to 4 yards after contact which made me dislike Carey Davis even more, he gets negative yards after contact. Flacco completed maybe 4 passes down field. I don't really know how the define control but I didn't see it.

The only thing I am answering to is why Baltimore is confident....which the orginal poster seems to be confused about. You guys are getting all defensive..."don't doubt the black and gold, man". Whatever. There is no reason why we shouldn't be confident in Baltimore....that's all. Sorry if it has made you doubt yourselves....

question is: if the ratbirds miracuously win... will you email us the ratbirds book of excuses to console ourselves with???

Huh? The players and Harbaugh were gracious in defeat.. I'm the type of fan that wants a game won one the field, not under a replay hood. I also don't want calls in our favor. Thats why I hated the fact that the Tits fans would complain about the no-call delay of game........it only leaves doubt.

See, that's why I quoted Crow-Magnon, I didn't expect you to answer for him. No one is getting defensive, I'm merely asking him to back up his claim. Pretty simple concept.
